During the '95 season, the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th highest receiving yardage in a season occurred. (2nd place by the way was set by Isaac Bruce, another loser on a team that lost a lot.)

There totally are "meaningless" yards. That's why there PFF, FO, etc are trying to qualitatively judge player contributions. But if you're counting straight up with regard only for volume, then more = better than.

It's amazing how many people forget that Isaac Bruce was around long before Kurt Warner made him famous. Not to mention that he and Rice both broke the record in '95. Rice just did a little bit of a better job breaking it.

Rice just did a little bit of a better job breaking it. Bruce was always a good guy and a drat fine receiver. He was pretty much the one reason I'd feel vaguely unhappy with the biannual trouncings the Rams tended to receive in the nineties. There was a story about Bruce lining up against Deion during Bruce's rookie year. Basically Deion was bored from QBs not challenging his side, so he spent a bit of the game coaching Bruce up and telling him how to camouflage his cuts better.

If your team is losing by a lot you shouldn't be rewarded for catching footballs thrown to you because in winning scenarios those footballs might not have been thrown to you  So when do I start commentating football games?

I know what you are thinking. Just two years ago, the Patriots beat the New York Jets, 45-3, in December, then lost a first-round game to the same Jets just a few weeks later. This is not the same. Those Jets were not afraid of the Patriots. Those Jets had players and a coach who did not wet their pants at the sight of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. Those Jets had attitude.

Yup, that's Dan all over. Remember that he's also the guy that really pushed the godawful Red Sox curse narrative throughout the 90's up through and after they won a loving world series. He's the worst of the non-race baiting guys.
